Number of entrants: 8 teams (16 players)Maps: (in following order) North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Far East, Oceania and AntarcticaGame Type: Doubles (except for 1CB which will be a standard)Play Order: Freestyle in first round, Sequential in remainder of tournamentTroop Deployment: AutomaticSpoils: n/aReinforcements: UnlimitedSpecial Gameplay: n/a

The winning team in a round advances. The losing player in a round plays a consolation round. One round is best four of seven games (starting in North America, and continuing through the maps in the order mentioned above). The finals has 7 games (one in each continent) regardless, and the player with the most games won wins. A consolation round is best two of three games (starting in Antarctica and going to Oceania, and Far East would be the tie breaker). 1CB will be a round of Standard games with 3 players. This round is played until one player wins 2 games.

By the way, how are you going to operate the rounds in which teams play multiple games (up to and including 7 ?) with freemium participants (max. 4 games, and even then only 1 game space might be available) ? Am I right in thinking that we play one game at a time against another team, progressing through the 7 maps in the order given, until one team has won 4? And as such the other maps might not be needed for that round?

Basically, I'm not 100% sure what the round structure is. This is my interpretation:

Round 1 (8 teams):7 games in each 'set'(One on each of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Far East, Oceania and Antarctic until a team wins 4)Set A: Team 1 vs team 2Set B: Team 3 vs team 4Set C: Team 5 vs team 6Set D: Team 7 vs team 8

Round 2 (4 teams):7 games in each 'set'(One on each of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Far East, Oceania and Antarctic until a team wins 4)Set i: Winner [of set] A vs Winner BSet ii: Winner C vs Winner D

Round 3 (2 teams):7 games in each 'set'(One on each of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Far East, Oceania and Antarctic)Final: Winner i vs Winner ii

Consolation round (?):Antarctica, Oceania and Far East?Who is playing?The 4 losing teams from round 1?And what happens to the winning team of the consolation round?You'll have to check with the tournament guys, but I think the tournament medals can only be given to the single winning team of a tournament.

My suggestion: drop the consolation round idea.

Otherwise, I'm looking forward to this, and thanks for organising!

The games will be played one at a time. Freemiums will only need one spot to play. The tournament format is below:

Round 1 (8 teams):7 games in each 'set'(One on each of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Far East, Oceania and Antarctic until a team wins 4)Set A: Team 1 vs team 2Set B: Team 3 vs team 4Set C: Team 5 vs team 6Set D: Team 7 vs team 8

Round 1 Consolation (4 teams):

7 games in each 'set'(One on each of Antarctica, Oceania, Far East until a team wins 2)Set c1: Looser [of set] A vs Looser BSet c2: Looser C vs Looser D

Round 2 (4 teams):7 games in each 'set'(One on each of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Far East, Oceania and Antarctic until a team wins 4)Set i: Winner [of set] A vs Winner BSet ii: Winner C vs Winner D

Round 2 Consolation (2 teams):

One on each of Antarctica, Oceania and Far East until a team wins 2

looser of set i vs. looser of set iiRound 3 (2 teams):7 games in each 'set'(One on each of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Far East, Oceania and Antarctic)Final: Winner i vs Winner ii

You are still eliminated after your consolation round set, whether you win the set or not. You could go in the game finder and find the games in the tournament I created (Classic: Doubles). It has the same rule with consolations.
